Using a die from Memory Box that I recently picked up, this was a perfect time to use it.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ldk_RhK5Dis/VPUX3ljwFiI/AAAAAAAAGyI/x0zGmwzfuiM/s1600/Coffee%2Bhop.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ldk_RhK5Dis/VPUX3ljwFiI/AAAAAAAAGyI/x0zGmwzfuiM/s1600/Coffee%2Bhop.JPG" height="400" width="280" /></a></div><br />I thought using some scraps, torn on one end, and placed just "about," would give it a different look to be a little unique. &nbsp;The coffee cup is popped up and I completed the look with a scripty word from <a href="http://www.yournextstamp.com/">Your Next Stamp</a> and some Your Next Stamp Gumdrop embellishments.<br /><br />A quick and fun card to support this fun hop, sponsored by some awesome companies!

OK, not really, but for this CA girl living in the Northeast, it certainly feels like it. &nbsp;It has been record breaking cold temperatures&nbsp;and snow that doesn't want to go away. &nbsp;However! With that said, we certainly do not have it as bad as those living in Massachusetts. &nbsp;Now those people have the right to complain. I am just complaining because I am not wearing flip flops. :)<br /><br />Let's talk about why you came to peek in... It's Feature Day with <a href="http://www.yournextstamp.com/blog">Your Next Stamp</a> and you do not want to miss out on all the fabulous crafty goodness the DT has put together. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OOhd55AJO0Y/VOkur2Zw5lI/AAAAAAAAGvA/PThlM6ZXmcY/s1600/Feb222015badge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OOhd55AJO0Y/VOkur2Zw5lI/AAAAAAAAGvA/PThlM6ZXmcY/s1600/Feb222015badge.jpg" height="302" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br />We are letting you take a peek at just a couple of sets that will be released next month and we were challenged to "Think Spring!"

I colored her in with Copics before cutting her out along with the bunny to be popped up over the grass. &nbsp;I used the current YNS challenge sketch for my layout while the fun patterned paper is from MME. &nbsp;The new released stitched marks die was used as part of the background to be use with the patterned paper circles. &nbsp;YNS Gumdrop embellishments were used to complete the look. &nbsp;Such a fun sketch!<br /><br />Don't forget to head to the <a href="http://www.yournextstamp.com/blog">YNS blog</a> to see all the fun DT creations and to have a chance at winning a stamp set of your choice!

After cutting out the image with the coordinated die set, I stamped the image on some SU! cardstock in Wild Wasabi and sewed down the middle. &nbsp;The sentiment was stamped on the same &nbsp;cardstock and the banner was hand cut and popped up. &nbsp;I used some foam adheseive dots to place unde each shamrock to give the clovers a little more dimension.

What fabulous projects everyone had using this fun release. &nbsp;I love all the St. Patrick's Day stamps and dies- certainly a holiday I do not have a lot of items for. &nbsp;And green is my favorite color! Go figure..<br /><br />For this first card, I made it using the new set of <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&amp;path=20">Irish Hello.</a> &nbsp;This set is so much fun and had coordinating dies to match. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vA0FpB5gN0U/VNbnw6sUmcI/AAAAAAAAGqI/btqGJG6P2qU/s1600/IMG_1395.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vA0FpB5gN0U/VNbnw6sUmcI/AAAAAAAAGqI/btqGJG6P2qU/s1600/IMG_1395.JPG" height="640" width="504" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0eqbehZUhTo/VNbp5REj4bI/AAAAAAAAGqk/_flAoncYNSI/s1600/IrishHello2015.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0eqbehZUhTo/VNbp5REj4bI/AAAAAAAAGqk/_flAoncYNSI/s1600/IrishHello2015.jpg" height="640" width="408" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ywo3SgKc2QU/VNbqABD_W7I/AAAAAAAAGqs/YneWZmJLFRY/s1600/Stitchingmarkscircledie020715.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ywo3SgKc2QU/VNbqABD_W7I/AAAAAAAAGqs/YneWZmJLFRY/s1600/Stitchingmarkscircledie020715.jpg" height="640" width="408" /></a></div><br /><br />&nbsp;Speaking of dies, YNS also released some fun <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&amp;path=20">Stitching Marks</a> dies that coordinate with the plain circle dies they carry. While you cannot see very well in this card, I did use the stitched circles on the patterned paper from Basic Grey before popping up the pot of gold image on top. &nbsp;The image was colored in with Copics and topped with some <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&amp;path=17_93&amp;product_id=602">Wink of Stella</a> for some fun sparkle. Here is a close up of that.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0q900zPb6og/VNbomySSCUI/AAAAAAAAGqQ/mwZ6bxjnWQE/s1600/IMG_1401.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0q900zPb6og/VNbomySSCUI/AAAAAAAAGqQ/mwZ6bxjnWQE/s1600/IMG_1401.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div><br />The sentiment is from the same set and stamped directly onto the top panel.<br /><br />For my second card, I had fun using the new <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&amp;path=20">Irish Whatnots</a>. &nbsp;I was going for a little humor of some birthday fun with tipping beer mugs. &nbsp;Honestly, I am not sure why I went in the direction it is. Why didn't I go from left to right? :) Oh well! Maybe it adds to the humor?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rxt5zA23HQE/VNbpldTbPaI/AAAAAAAAGqc/69VFALpvIbg/s1600/IMG_1399.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rxt5zA23HQE/VNbpldTbPaI/AAAAAAAAGqc/69VFALpvIbg/s1600/IMG_1399.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RSZ7gnCWTx0/VNbrAqi09gI/AAAAAAAAGrE/cwiPii-OwdM/s1600/IrishWhatnotdies020715.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RSZ7gnCWTx0/VNbrAqi09gI/AAAAAAAAGrE/cwiPii-OwdM/s1600/IrishWhatnotdies020715.jpg" height="640" width="408" /></a></div><br /><br />How fun is that beer foam for the tops?

Yes, I am enabling, but once you see all the fabulous projects from the DT, you will thank me. :)<br /><br />For my sneaky peek, I am using the new set called Whatnot Sentiments Four. &nbsp;This sentiment set is a perfect mix of sentiments to meet any occasion. &nbsp;I mixed this card with the current YNS sketch and last months die release of <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&amp;path=20&amp;product_id=853">Key To My Heart.</a><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aqRPMQou4bU/VNV-SsKocJI/AAAAAAAAGps/WR-iHoDW1TQ/s1600/Key%2Bto%2Bmy%2Bheart.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aqRPMQou4bU/VNV-SsKocJI/AAAAAAAAGps/WR-iHoDW1TQ/s1600/Key%2Bto%2Bmy%2Bheart.JPG" height="640" width="498" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gjdDWxdUNcA/VNWB8mwLb1I/AAAAAAAAGp4/iE_eV4nIeas/s1600/whatnotsentimentsfour020715.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gjdDWxdUNcA/VNWB8mwLb1I/AAAAAAAAGp4/iE_eV4nIeas/s1600/whatnotsentimentsfour020715.jpg" height="640" width="408" /></a></div><br /><br /><br />The papers are from MME and some red scrap from my stash. &nbsp;The key was cut out with some black card stock to be popped up, while the sentiment was stamp directly onto the top panel using both black and red rhubard memento ink. The card was finished with some rhinestones and stitching along the bottom using the<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&amp;product_id=813&amp;search=stitches"> little stitches</a> die. <br /><br />Be sure to stop by the YNS blog to see all the fun sneak peeks and check back tomorrow to kick off the new release blog hop!

I started with an average A2 card base and folded it half.&nbsp; I then determined where I wanted the tear to be and ran the die on the top of the card.&nbsp; Using a small vellum treat bag, I filled it with some candy hearts and was sure that the candy were lying flat and cut the top portion, top layer of the bag into a squared 'U' to give it a wider opening.&nbsp; I adhered that to the inside and taped the edges with some score-tape.&nbsp; Be sure not to tape the tab!&nbsp; The outside was decorated using some patterned paper from EP's Head over Heels collection.&nbsp; I used the new release of YNS <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&amp;product_id=846&amp;search=cool">Cool and Sweet</a> for the images, cutting them out with the coordinating <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&amp;product_id=850&amp;search=cool">dies</a> and using the fun <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&amp;path=25_30&amp;product_id=113">Awesome Borders 2</a> collection for the top border.&nbsp;The sentiment was stamped directly on top of the tab.&nbsp; Here it is open:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uIdE0hc0q58/VL_YS1klEKI/AAAAAAAAGoI/YzZWY16chgU/s1600/IMG_1081.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uIdE0hc0q58/VL_YS1klEKI/AAAAAAAAGoI/YzZWY16chgU/s1600/IMG_1081.JPG" height="464" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br />I hope you enjoyed this little fun project.&nbsp; Be sure to head over to the <a href="http://www.yournextstamp.com/blog">YNS blog</a> for more inspiration and wonderful designs!

A challenge blog using sequins! Whoop!! A great way to use the thousands of sequins you have hoarding... uh hem... lying around! :)&nbsp; This is also my entry for their DT call.&nbsp; Fingers crossed...<br /><br />This card is a shaker card, which seem to be all the rage right now.&nbsp; Good thing too because I realized the last shaker card I made was literally a year ago! <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1B8l7AcgclM/VMAPjLU5TPI/AAAAAAAAGoc/Ra6dOh2NDWw/s1600/Heart%2Bskips%2Ba%2Bbeat.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1B8l7AcgclM/VMAPjLU5TPI/AAAAAAAAGoc/Ra6dOh2NDWw/s1600/Heart%2Bskips%2Ba%2Bbeat.JPG" height="640" width="488" /></a></div><br /><br />I love the look of all white with a pop of color and thought a great way to do that is definitely with some sequins being that "pop" of color.&nbsp;&nbsp;I started off with some heavy weight cardstock for the base and layer.&nbsp; The window cut out is a PTI die while the stitching on the side is a die&nbsp;from<a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&amp;path=25_30&amp;product_id=801"> Your Next Stamp</a>.&nbsp; The sentiment is from a set from Flourishes (no longer in business) called Roses for love. <br />The sequins are some I had from Fancy Pants, but <a href="http://www.shopprettypinkposh.com/Sequin-Mixes-s/1841.htm">Pretty Pink Posh</a> has some fantastic blends that I am going to have to purchase.&nbsp; Yay for crafty shopping! <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great night!<br /><a href="http://s1131.photobucket.com/user/deborahanton/media/Siggy.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Siggy.png" border="0" src="http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m552/deborahanton/Siggy.png" /></a>http://beadnstampn.blogspot.com/2015/01/sparkle-and-shine.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Deborah Anton)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695085961086234587.post-4511626066008796864Tue, 20 Jan 2015 14:52:00 +00002015-01-20T09:52:51.151-05:00Avery ElleHandwritten sentimentsLawn FawnPC MagazinePublicationWish you were hereSome Published Cards... Sort of...Hello everyone!<br />As most of you know, Paper Crafts Magazine decided last month to close its doors and make this months issue the last.&nbsp; And if you are like the rest of us, we are quite bummed to see them go in an industry that is forever changing. I don't know about you, but I really thought PC would be the last man standing! :)&nbsp; Years ago, I tried to get published in this magazine and never made it through.&nbsp; I was frustrated and didn't do it again for a while.&nbsp; I decided to go for it again for this particular call and you can only imagine my excitement when a yes came through!&nbsp; It was short lived, but just knowing they liked what they saw is humbling enough. So- I thought I would share with you two cards that were recently selected for publication before the announcement was made.&nbsp; Thank you to PC Magazine for considering my two cards, I am flattered!<br /><br />First up... <strong><span style="color: #45818e;">Missing you.</span> </strong><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ovIs1gDa6d4/VL5nzpibBaI/AAAAAAAAGns/-QY-ikv2Oi4/s1600/Wish%2Byou%2Bwere%2Bhere.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ovIs1gDa6d4/VL5nzpibBaI/AAAAAAAAGns/-QY-ikv2Oi4/s1600/Wish%2Byou%2Bwere%2Bhere.jpg" height="306" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>This slider card was made using <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/">Lawn Fawn's</a> fun set of <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/products/wish-you-were-here">Wish You Were Here</a> and the coordinating <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/products/wish-you-were-here-lawn-cuts">die set</a>.&nbsp; My idea was to make the interactive card be so the heart would end up on the other side of the US.&nbsp; If&nbsp; you look really close, you will notice that it starts in VA (where I live) and ends in Southern CA. (Where I'm from!) :) <br /><br />Here it is open:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qENQPQvY36k/VL5nzv2W_fI/AAAAAAAAGno/Ui4YTgXTPKA/s1600/Wish%2Byou%2Bwere%2Bhere%2Bopen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qENQPQvY36k/VL5nzv2W_fI/AAAAAAAAGno/Ui4YTgXTPKA/s1600/Wish%2Byou%2Bwere%2Bhere%2Bopen.jpg" height="258" width="400" /></a></div><br />Isn't it fun?&nbsp; I really enjoyed making this card and was thrilled that it was picked up by PC Magazine.<br /><br />My second card was using some dry embossing.&nbsp; I got a little creative with this embossing folder to give it the layered look of various colors.&nbsp; <br /><br /><strong><span style="color: #134f5c;">Simply The Best:</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color: #134f5c;"></span></strong><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cGe5D70idZI/VL5nz0BOTeI/AAAAAAAAGnk/YGglGbq9V14/s1600/You're%2Bthe%2Bbest.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cGe5D70idZI/VL5nz0BOTeI/AAAAAAAAGnk/YGglGbq9V14/s1600/You're%2Bthe%2Bbest.jpg" height="400" width="341" /></a></div><br /><br />This card was a CAS look as well using<a href="http://www.averyelle.com/"> Avery Elle's</a> set of <a href="http://www.averyelle.com/handwritten-notes-photopolymer-stamps/">Handwritten Notes</a>.&nbsp; Love this set! I started by embossing the white panel a little more than halfway up and then taking a few scraps I had in a nice color palette and embossed those.&nbsp; I then fussy cut each row to have it fit on top of the white embossed row.&nbsp; The sentiment was stamped directly onto the card and the look was completed by a row of rhinestones, a button, and some twine.&nbsp; <br /><br />There it is! My two almost published cards... I hope you enjoyed them and thanks for popping in.&nbsp; Have a great Tuesday!<br /><a href="http://s1131.photobucket.com/user/deborahanton/media/Siggy.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Siggy.png" border="0" src="http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m552/deborahanton/Siggy.png" /></a>http://beadnstampn.blogspot.com/2015/01/some-published-cards-sort-of.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Deborah Anton)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695085961086234587.post-1967473283971416595Sat, 17 Jan 2015 15:56:00 +00002015-01-17T10:58:35.956-05:00CameoFitztownFriday Sketch ChallengeCameo - Friday Sketch ChallengeHappy Saturday everyone!<br /><br />Have you checked out the fun sketch over at <a href="http://fridaysketchchallenge.blogspot.com/">Friday Sketch Challenge</a>?&nbsp; The sponsor is <a href="http://www.fitztown.com/">Fitztown </a>and they have beautiful images perfect for this sketch.&nbsp; <br /><br />My card is made using Cameo and I just love it.&nbsp; So feminine and beautiful.&nbsp; I had a wonderful time coloring her with my Copics.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GwqrgGN2u08/VLqF0meiSjI/AAAAAAAAGms/wEVXBradux4/s1600/Cameo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GwqrgGN2u08/VLqF0meiSjI/AAAAAAAAGms/wEVXBradux4/s1600/Cameo.JPG" height="640" width="526" /></a></div><br /><br />The patterned paper is from Basic Grey's Sultry collection and the image is popped up.&nbsp; I really wanted the focus to be the image so I left off a sentiment for later and finished off the card with some paper roses, rhinestones and pearls. <br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to check out the other fabulous projects from the DT!<br /><br /><a href="http://s1131.photobucket.com/user/deborahanton/media/Siggy.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Siggy.png" border="0" src="http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m552/deborahanton/Siggy.png" /></a>http://beadnstampn.blogspot.com/2015/01/cameo-friday-sketch-challenge.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Deborah Anton)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695085961086234587.post-9078880417454947262Fri, 16 Jan 2015 05:00:00 +00002015-01-16T00:00:03.177-05:00Friday Fun ProjectFun ChartsLoveValentines DayYour Next StampExcitement -o -meter - Your Next StampTGIF!<br /><br />Just a quick pop in to share with you my Friday Fun Project with <a href="http://www.yournextstamp.com/">Your Next Stamp.</a><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vi-xqOYXNuE/VLiLnqQgDdI/AAAAAAAAGmc/veBbA9KXXAU/s1600/Excitometer.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vi-xqOYXNuE/VLiLnqQgDdI/AAAAAAAAGmc/veBbA9KXXAU/s1600/Excitometer.JPG" height="640" width="498" /></a></div><br />This card was made using the new release of <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&amp;product_id=840&amp;search=fun+chart">Fun Charts</a>.&nbsp; A great Valentines set where you can get really creative in making a unique project.

Many great sets to help with your Valentines projects as well as your everyday thoughts put into a project.&nbsp; For this card,&nbsp;I used the new release set of Fun Charts to make this fun Valentines day card.&nbsp; <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Sdp2_zWb8z8/VKyHCUlikRI/AAAAAAAAGkY/RxvKj8EQATw/s1600/Bliss.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Sdp2_zWb8z8/VKyHCUlikRI/AAAAAAAAGkY/RxvKj8EQATw/s1600/Bliss.JPG" height="640" width="504" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VcjG5MxB6Wc/VKyHOcMbtPI/AAAAAAAAGkg/tD3htBqaHeo/s1600/FunCharts012015.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VcjG5MxB6Wc/VKyHOcMbtPI/AAAAAAAAGkg/tD3htBqaHeo/s1600/FunCharts012015.jpg" height="640" width="408" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">&nbsp;</div><br />For the layout, I used YNS current sketch over on the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/blog/">challenge blog</a>. It made for a perfect set up! I used patterned paper from EP's Head over Heels collection and by using one of the patterns, I paper pieced it to the thermometer.&nbsp; The sentiments were individually stamped in the chosen colors to avoid a&nbsp;box around it, while the arrow was hand drawn and cut out.&nbsp; It was then popped up and finished by adding some fun gumdrops from YNS.<br /><br />I made a second card using Sweet and Cool.&nbsp; This is a super fun set and one I thought would be good for a CAS layout.&nbsp; <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Smzm6Cadlr4/VKyIR98Mw1I/AAAAAAAAGko/zQ79AMzulk4/s1600/So%2Bcool.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Smzm6Cadlr4/VKyIR98Mw1I/AAAAAAAAGko/zQ79AMzulk4/s1600/So%2Bcool.JPG" height="640" width="516" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ax5QRgnMcvY/VKyITyHSU7I/AAAAAAAAGkw/aaz1itvV0pg/s1600/SweetandCool2015.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ax5QRgnMcvY/VKyITyHSU7I/AAAAAAAAGkw/aaz1itvV0pg/s1600/SweetandCool2015.jpg" height="640" width="408" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gh2x5UGq5rs/VKyIVTdyqCI/AAAAAAAAGk4/ZrOojnrVn7k/s1600/SweetandCoolDieSet2015.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gh2x5UGq5rs/VKyIVTdyqCI/AAAAAAAAGk4/ZrOojnrVn7k/s1600/SweetandCoolDieSet2015.jpg" height="640" width="408" /></a></div><br />If you did not see my lollipop Valentine I made with this set, you can see it <span style="color: red;"><strong><a href="http://beadnstampn.blogspot.com/2015/01/sweet-and-cool-your-next-stamp-sneak.html">here.</a>&nbsp; </strong></span><span style="color: black;">Another great versatile set.&nbsp; I used the coordinating die to cut out the popsicle and color it in with Copics.&nbsp; The patterned paper is from MME and the fun diamond border used is YNS <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&amp;product_id=113&amp;search=awesome">Awesome Borders Two</a>.&nbsp; I completed the look with some glittered pink <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&amp;path=17_88">gumdrops</a>.</span><br /><br /><br />Don't forget to continue hopping for your chance to win $20 to YNS just by commenting!!

Yippee!! This release is so much fun and makes for some super cute, super fun Valentine cards or projects.&nbsp; <br /><br />For my sneaky peek, I am using the cute set of Sweet and Cool.&nbsp; This set has such a great variety to be used on different projects.&nbsp; I used it to make this Valentine:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zOpzgezvGvw/VKtB3BOVWyI/AAAAAAAAGjk/hPCEVMeq27k/s1600/Bee%2Bmine.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zOpzgezvGvw/VKtB3BOVWyI/AAAAAAAAGjk/hPCEVMeq27k/s1600/Bee%2Bmine.JPG" height="400" width="282" /></a></div><br /><br />Using patterned paper from EP's Head over Heels collection, I made this one sided valentines lollipop treat.&nbsp; I stamped the images on some Neenah cardstock and colored it in with Copics.&nbsp; I then added some more patterned paper to accent the front before stamping the sentiment above and using my craft knife to cut slots at the top to slide in the lollipop. This layer was put up with some foam tape, ensuring that I only taped along the edges so I could slide in the lollipop.&nbsp; It was finished with some YNS gumdrops for accents.&nbsp; The back can be used to write a little note and make someone's day! :)&nbsp; <br /><br />Be sure to stop by the <strong><span style="color: #990000;"><a href="http://yournextstamp.com/blog/">YNS blog</a></span></strong> for the full sneak peeks and fabulous projects!
